POST#92: MOON PIE!!!

Hey guys! Today we're taking a short break from the Disney World series and focus on the new member of my family, Moon Pie! She's a 2 month old pug dog  and a girl. She's a bundle of extreme cuteness, but she's a bit of a wild thing! When she plays, she doesn't play nice... Nooo, she claws at you, sometimes she bites you really really hard, so hard she can almost make you cry from the pain (that actually happened like twice), starts chewing on things, or starts running around the house really fast (it's REALLY funny). She can sometimes be a pain in the butt, but she's just sooo cute and adorable, you can't resist :P She actually sleeps with me in my bed...

Happy weekend!

POST#91: DISNEY WORLD PART 5

Hey guys! Today it's the fourth installment in the Disney World series! And today we're visiting... *drumroll*... Universal Studios! So we drove to Universal, and after we parked, we entered. So the first ride we went on was E.T. It was awesome! I got to sit at the front where E.T's basket is! So after that we went to the Springfield U.S.A area, and it REALLY LOOKS LIKE SPRINGFIELD! We went to Moe's Tavern to eat some snacks and drink some sodas, and then we got on the Simpsons ride. IT WAS AWESOME!!! It felt like a roller coaster, but we weren't actually moving on a track, we were actually on a little car being controlled! Cool, I know. So after the Simpsons ride, we got on the Men In Black ride, and the set was pretty cool! It was the Alien HQ and there were doors that said "Fingerprint removal", "Break room", etc. We got on, you get on a moving car, got laser guns, and started shooting the aliens! I got a pretty good aim, but I somehow got a low score... After the MIB ride, we got on the "Disaster!" ride. It's like an acting set, where people actually get chosen to be part of a "film" (I was chosen to be a stunt woman), and then they show the film to you. I had to jump onto The Rock's arms (edited of course with a little Hollywood magic)! Then we went on the Transformers ride, which was AWESOME! I went on it not one, but TWO times! The Transformers fight right in your face! It's REALLY COOL. Then, we went on the Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem ride, and the posters they have about the Minions on the line area are really cool! When you enter the ride, it looks like you're inside Gru's house! Then you get on a little car that moves around with the Minions and the girls (Margo, Edith and Agnes♡) around their adventures in the ride. After the ride, there's the HUGE Despicable Me gift shop, in which you can get t-shirts, plushes like the Fluffy Unicorn and a giant Minion, and lots of other cool Despicable Me merchandise. After the ride, we moved onto Islands of Adventure, and got on the Spider-Man ride, and got on it TWO times! It was AWESOME and Spider-Man and his enemies fight right in your face! It's really cool! It was actually the only ride we got on from Islands of Adventure, because it was getting near closing time and we had to go. Universal Studios was really fun! I loved it!

Happy weekend!

POST#90: DISNEY WORLD PART 4

Hey guys! Today it's the third installment of the Disney World series! So, the third day I went to the Kennedy Space Center! AWESOME, I know right? So we entered, and the first thing we did was go on the bus tour. It was recommended to take it as soon as you get there because it closes really early. We took the (awesome) bus tour to the museums that are a little bit far from the visitors center, then came back to the visitors center and visited the new ATLANTIS museum, where we saw the real Atlantis Space Shuttle! Yeah, the real one! We also got on a simulator to experience how little a tunnel in the ISS (International Space Station) can be. Then we got on a Space Shuttle launch simulator, in which you get a chance to experience a (fake, but very similar) space shuttle launch.
Then, it was really close to closing time, and we had to eat dinner, so we ate at a Cape Canaveral seafood and meat restaurant called Grillz, and the food was really good! KSC was AWESOME!

Happy weekend!

POST#89: DISNEY WORLD PART 3

Hey guys! Today I'm telling you what I did in Magic Kingdom :) First we went to Tomorrowland, and then we went to Stitch's Great Escape. Then, we went to the AWESOMEST ROLLER COASTER EVER (I was nervous and I came out pumped!): Space Mountain!!! After that we stopped to rest a little bit and eat a snack, then we moved on to the Astro Orbiter. It gives you an awesome birds-eye view of Magic Kingdom. Then we moved on to Fantasyland, where we went on It's a Small World. It's awesome because it gives you a peek at the world's different cultures! Then we ate lunch, and then we went to Mickey's PhilarMagic. After that, we moved on to Frontierland, and got on another of the most AWESOMEST ROLLER COASTERS EVER: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! After Big Thunder, we got on Splash Mountain. You honestly don't get as wet as people tell so (just a little bit from the waist up), and you don't go directly into the big drop, you go through several little fake drops and an It's a Small World kind of ride, and at the end is when you go to the big drop. Then we entered Adventureland, and got on Pirates of The Caribbean, it's theme is Old San Juan's port! Anyway, after that we got on Aladdin's Carpet Ride, which is like the Astro Orbiter, but you go a little bit lower, and instead of a rocket, it's a magic carpet. After that, we returned to Main Street U.S.A. and ate dinner at Casey's Corner, which is a really good hot dog place. After we ate, we got our places for the projections they play at the castle (which, BTW, ARE AWESOME!), watched them, and then watched the (AWESOME and really impressive) fireworks. When the firework show finished, it was really late, so then we left and returned to our hotel.

Next week comes part 4 in the Disney World Trip Series! Beware!


Happy weekend!
